Yes, I knew (junior) Amanda (Sams). Back when she was in elementary school, she played softball with my little sister and my dad was her softball coach. So, just, that’s really the only thing, but all of us are from about the same area.

No, I don’t think having a house makes a difference. I think that the style of sorority and the intake process that we undergo forms the bond that makes us sisterly in each other. So, I don’t think anything outside of that would really influence a bond between us.

Just being able to leave a mark, I guess, on campus and ensuring that the sorority didn’t die after the original seven members started. But, I guess the best thing would just be being part of greek week and Homecoming and being able to interact with all the other fraternities and sororities.
